Live Stream Treasure Hunt: I Made Profits Million Times Over-Chapter 60 - -Is a 30-Million-StellarCoin Container Just a Piece of Waste Paper?(1st update, Cheer me with Power Stones!)
In the end, this container from Country D was successfully claimed by Daniel for a price of 9,100 StellarCoins.
Reminded of Daniel’s confident final bid, Abel and the others were itching to urge Daniel to open the container.
They all wanted to know what exactly about this seemingly dilapidated container caught Daniel’s eye.
Unrushed, Daniel stepped forward, directing the workers to clean out all the furniture inside.
The seaweed-covered furniture, now exposed to the sunlight, still bore traces of its past nobility.
Emilia, who loved collecting expensive custom-made furniture, lamented at the sight, "What a pity, they must have been beautiful."
Allen nodded in agreement, "Absolutely. If these pieces were in good condition, they could easily be worth a million StellarCoins. The port workers are incredibly careless. This is a complete waste."
Sofas, tables, chairs, wardrobes, shoe cabinets, table lamps, beds, and other pieces of furniture were laid out in front of everyone.
After a careful inspection, everyone shook their heads.
Without exception, they all agreed that the damage was too severe.
Even if they were cleaned and repaired, they wouldn’t fetch much money - perhaps just a few thousand.
Worried that Daniel would be disappointed, Abel pulled Durant aside, "Durant, we might be missing something. Do you see any value in these items that we don’t?"
Durant shook his head outright, "Unfortunately, these pieces of furniture, even if dried and repaired multiple times, have been so severely damaged by seawater that they’re practically moisture-prone. Their value has taken a big hit. Even if we were to sell them to someone we know, we’d only get a couple of thousand StellarCoins at most."
Hearing this, Allen laughed towards Daniel, "Dan, Durant says you can sell it for 20,000 StellarCoins. You’re making a cool profit of 10,000, man!"
The other veteran treasure hunters all expressed surprise.
They initially thought that Daniel had run aground this time, but surprisingly, not only did he recover his investment, but he also made an additional ten thousand.
Moreover, from start to finish, Daniel seemed utterly relaxed, which indicated that he was already aware of this outcome.
His appraisal skills were indeed impressive!
Emilia considered herself, among many treasure hunters, to be the one with the clearest understanding of furniture items.
But compared to Daniel, she still felt inadequate.
The other treasure hunters also expressed their admiration for Daniel’s appraisal skills once again.
When everyone’s attention was on Daniel, they found him rummaging through the cabinet, seemingly looking for something.
This was reasonable; anyone would rummage through a cabinet with storage features that they bought.
There might be an unexpected surprise.
Suddenly, Daniel exclaimed, "Found it!"
All the treasure hunters flocked over.
"What did you find?"
"Could it be another valuable treasure?"
"Dan, don’t be too dramatic."
In Daniel’s hand was a safe the size of two palms.
He tapped it with his hand, and the sound was dull, indicating its good quality.
Durant took a look and analyzed, "This type of safe is commonly used to store precious jewelry."
Once he said this, the treasure hunters were all excited.
"Dan, open it quickly!"
"If there’s jewelry inside, you’ll hit the jackpot!"
"If Matt knew, he would be kicking himself."
Daniel looked at the small safe in his hand, and the system’s appraisal result automatically appeared in his mind.

[Item]: Safe
[Market price]: 31,540,000.
This is it! Daniel’s eyes instantly lit up with excitement, ready to open the safe and find out what was inside.
But a problem followed.
Such a delicate and exquisite safe, yet with excellent quality.
No matter how much he hammered it, it just wouldn’t open.
Even the body did not deform, only showing some minor dents.
Allen rushed over with a sledgehammer borrowed from the staff, "Everyone, step aside! Watch this hammer!"
With a loud bang, the safe didn’t budge.
This quality was truly exceptional.
But because of this, the treasure hunters were more excited than ever.
The better the quality of the safe, the more valuable the things inside would be.
After all, who would store a piece of junk in such a good safe?
Just when Daniel was also at a loss, a system sound suddenly rang in his mind.
[Detected that the host has a strong demand, can exchange for Master-level lock-picking skills.]
[Consume 8 exchange points to exchange for Master-level lock-picking skills.]
[Do you want to exchange?]
What the heck?
Was this a coincidence?
The Master-level lock-picking technique required exactly the 8 exchange points that he had just earned.
This must be deliberate, Daniel thought to himself with a hint of exasperation.
But, he chose to exchange nonetheless.
Eight exchange points were worth eighty thousand StellarCoins.
But what lay inside the safe was a treasure worth thirty million.
He made a snap decision, "Exchange!"
[Exchange Successful!]
[Master-level Lock-picking Skills Merged!]
Abel and the others were still scratching their heads over the safe, unable to find a way to open it.
Emilia suggested, "There should be a cutting machine at the port that can open it, right?"
Allen got up to go look, but Abel stopped him.
"What’s up, bro?" Allen asked confusedly.
Abel said, "Sure, a cutting machine can open it, but we don’t know what’s inside.
What if it’s a painting or something?
The sparks from the cutting machine could cause damage."
Everyone nodded; Abel’s concerns were indeed valid.
But this left them with a dilemma.
The treasure was right in front of them, but they couldn’t see what it truly was.
Nothing could be more torturous for a treasure hunter.
At this moment, Daniel handed the safe to Allen.
"What’s up, Dan?" Allen asked, puzzled.
Daniel just smiled, "Of course, to open it. Hold it steady, don’t move."
Everyone looked confused, wondering how Daniel, who was unarmed, would open the safe.
Amid everyone’s doubtful gazes, Daniel pressed his ear against the safe, one hand turning the dial lock.
A tiny click was heard!
Daniel quickly turned the dial in the other direction.
After a few more consecutive clicks, Daniel looked up as the safe obediently swung open.
Everyone was astounded.
"Oh my god!"
"What kind of trick is this, a master thief?"
"Dan, you’re wasting your talents if you’re not a thief."
Allen had a look of complaint, "Dan, that’s not fair."
"With this skill, why didn’t you use it earlier? I had to lug a huge hammer that weighs 50 kilograms around."
After saying this, he immediately leaned towards the safe.
As the one who had suffered the most, he had the right to be the first to see what was in the safe.
Everyone followed suit, leaning in to get a glimpse of what was inside.
They all wanted to see what was contained within.
But the next moment, everyone was puzzled.
There was only a folded piece of white paper in the safe.
Emilia wondered, "Could it be an antique painting?"
Durant shook his head, "If an antique painting was preserved like this, it would have turned into scraps long ago. Plus, this paper is clearly made using modern methods, it’s definitely not an antique."
Daniel took out the paper and unfolded it.
His expression quickly turned strange.
The ever-curious Allen, standing across from him, craned his neck, "Dan, what is it?" The others also looked at Daniel, waiting for the result.
Daniel’s face went from strange to calm, from calm to joyful, and from joyful to excited.
Eventually, he burst out laughing, "I can’t believe it, it’s such a treasure!"
The others couldn’t hold back any longer and crowded around.
Seeing the content on the paper, everyone lost their composure.
"Oh my God! Oh my God!!"
"How is this possible, it’s absurd!"
"9100 StellarCoins for over 3000 acres of woodland?"
Everyone turned their astonished eyes on Daniel, exclaiming, "Dan, your luck is out of this world!"
Daniel looked at the deed in his hand, grinning from ear to ear.
He never expected that the treasure worth thirty million would be a land deed.
The other treasure hunters slapped their foreheads in regret, wishing they could smack themselves.
It was a fair auction.
Why couldn’t they have persevered and bid on this container?
The ownership rights to over 3000 acres of woodland.
It would have been a steal for even ten times the StellarCoins.
Why couldn’t they get a break like this?
Everyone silently looked at Daniel, cursing in their hearts.
Why the hell did this jerk always stumble onto such windfalls??
Allen, who had figured out what the paper was about, was still a little confused, "Does this piece of paper really give us ownership of the over 3000 acres of land?"
Everyone understood Allen’s point.
Normally, a land deed is just a document proving the ownership of the land.
If the owner loses the deed, they can apply for a replacement from the relevant department.
But there’s another type of land deed that doesn’t have any designated owner recorded by the government.
Whoever holds this type of deed owns the land.
In other words...
The over 3000 acres of woodland now belong to Daniel!
